It's well known that B.o.B is a flat-earther. Now he's finally decided to explain why he subscribes to this controversial school of thought.

As pointed out by XXL, the rapper and members of his BoBCast podcast crew posted a new video that touches on coronavirus, cloning, mind control, the Mandela effect, and the inception of the flat earth theory. During this video, B.o.B explains that he became a flat-earther after running across a video that highlights NASA conspiracy theories.

"I come across a fucking flat Earth video called NASA's Hidden Secrets," B.o.B. said around the video's 21-minute mark. "So I clicked on the video, it's a video of Eric DuBay doing an interview and I was listening to it, like man, let me turn this shit off. I was finna turn this shit off, I swear, and then I was like, hold on let me see what he's talking about. And so I started listening to the video and I was like, 'Oh my god, let me do some research.'"

After doing his own studies, B.o.B became convinced that the world is not a sphere like traditional science claims. In 2016, B.o.B went public with his findings.
